AN AMAZING PROPHECY

Pilgrimages Go Virtual Under Lockdown

British and Irish Catholics prevented from going on pilgrimage by lockdown restrictions are going virtual, with online services replacing now-cancelled physical liturgies.

In Middlesborough diocese, hundreds of faithful have been participating in a “Walk of Hope”, collectively “walking” around 65 miles a day through England and France. The progress of the pilgrimage from Middlesborough to Lourdes has been tracked in a Facebook group with 800 members. The group also provides daily prayers and live-streamed recitations of the Rosary every evening to participants.
